Turkish company signs deal to supply electricity to Iraq

Turkish floating power plant operator Karpowership announced on Wednesday that it has signed a deal to supply Iraq with up to 590 megawatts of electricity to stabilize the country’s national grid.

Two floating power generation units are scheduled to dock at the Khor al-Zubair and Umm Qasr ports in Basra. They are expected to begin operating within a month, according to Reuters.

The company said in a statement that the initial contract, signed with the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity and the General Company for Electricity Production, extends for 71 days.
